The latest Yingchuan report arrived in Guanzhong ten days after Cao Cao carried out another clearance operation, that is, on the second day of October.
Although Fei Qian and Cao Cao are relatively in a relatively opposite state, due to economic exchanges, there are always caravans coming and going. Cao Cao's side obviously does not have a relatively complete spy defense system, and perhaps there are, but because of its own system and official problems, the areas that should have been tight may not be tight, and the areas that were lax are even more relaxed. Therefore, many times, the spies who came out of Guanzhong were able to pass the message back more easily.
Kan Ze sat in the hall, looking at the latest information, while recalling the list of some of the personnel he gradually took over from Pang Tong during this period.
Although the list of these personnel is huge and numerous, Kan Ze vaguely feels that this is only a small part.
Because if Kan Ze was placed in Pang Tong's position, he would definitely not give all the list immediately. There must be a core part, which is only in the hands of Fei Qian and Pang Tong.
Of course, this is common sense. Kan Ze will not cause dissatisfaction because of this, and will even remind himself to be more cautious.
Among these lists, although Kan Ze is only a name and code name on the secret scroll, if it falls into reality, these names and code names are life, and it may even be the life of a family. How can you be careless?
Among these personnel, Kan Ze saw many different identities and became more and more aware of the importance of Youwensi.
There are Taoist priests, bachelors, scholars, merchants, all kinds of people, and various professions, like an invisible big net, covering the entire Shandong area, spread throughout Jizhou and Yuzhou...
According to Pang Tong's intention, distributing personnel is only the first step.
Call it penetration.
And what makes Kan Ze feel most afraid is that this infiltration or even the inflexible requirement for these people to convey messages. This is almost equivalent to the fact that these people greatly reduce the risks when they are outside, and it can even be said that there is no risk.
Only the key figures of some nodes are responsible for gathering messages and dispatching tasks.
These people will use their identities to meet all kinds of people, not only limited to officials, but also among the gentry. There are even ordinary people and ordinary merchants.
In short, these people will meet different people and can complete different tasks when necessary, either bribe officials with a lot of money or spread public opinion to civilians.
There are even children of the gentry who are specifically responsible for raising various questions and planting the seeds of doubt for the people around them...
And, this is just the first step!
first step!
Kan Ze remembered that when he asked Pang Tong with some awe, he asked Pang Tong how many steps there were in total, Pang Tong smiled and refused to answer.
Pang Tong, no, is he the General of the Cavalry, and is actually using Shandong for experiments?
People of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are actually like chess pieces on a chessboard, just a part of the experiment?
Kan Ze even secretly speculated that the Qinglong Temple Daquan was a piece on this chessboard?
Kan Ze took a breath, reached out and pulled the rope beside him. A slight jingle sound came from the distance of the hall, and then a guard appeared in the hall. "It is said that Ma Junhou, Zhang Congcao and Wang Zhiyin came to discuss matters."
In order to avoid the guards hearing some words intentionally or unintentionally outside the hall, all the guards of Youwensi were thirty steps away from the hall. Unless someone greeted him or used a bell to send a signal like Kan Ze, any behavior that was close to the hall was considered intentional eavesdropping.
Because the news from Yingchuan will be transmitted to Chang'an sooner or later, but Kan Ze just obtained it first, so there is no need to use the secret room, just discuss it in the hall.
"This time, it seems that something big will happen in Yingchuan..."
Kan Ze thought silently, a little nervous, but also felt excited.
This is the first time that Youwen Si, who was semi-independent from Pang Tong, took over the handling of external events.
The previous eradication of Guanzhong spies was for the internal, but now, it was for the external. Perhaps from now on, it could be truly considered a relatively complete form of Youwen Si.
But caution still needs to be taken.
Kan Ze can use the list he gets at hand, but it does not mean that he can consume and waste without bottom line.
It is best to use it in small quantities and without loss.
This is the goal set by Kan Ze for himself...
He didn't wait long. In the Youwen Department, Ma Junhou, Zhang Congcao and Wang Zhiyin, who were on duty, arrived.
After all the three of them were settled, Kan Ze took out Yingchuan's information and passed it on to the three of them.
『Everyone, within Yingchuan…』 Kan Ze looked around, 『Maybe we are facing an opportunity…』
None of the three of them answered immediately, but looked at the information. After a moment, everyone raised their heads, with some confusion on their faces.
"Dare you ask the director, is this... this report reliable? Didn't someone say that the Yingchuan incident was false a few days ago?" Zhang Cong Cao asked with a frown, and could tell that he was concerned about the authenticity of the information.
Did Cao Cao take action against Yingchuan Hao?
Is Cao Cao so angry? Uh, is he strong?
Ma Junhou laughed aside, "There was a false story about Yingchuan a few days ago, and it was us...
Zhang Congcao was stunned for a moment, "Ha?!" Zhang Congcao was busy sorting out the files of Youwensi a few days ago, and there was no action involved, so he was not very clear about the relationship.
『There was rumors in Yingchuan that there were thousands of casualties when they were told, which was false...』 Kan Ze knocked on the table and said, 『But Prime Minister Cao took action... This is true...』
Zhang Cong Cao nodded, "So, the rumor in Yingchuan before may be... Prime Minister Cao deliberately released it... Now seeing that we have no specific corresponding actions, is it really taking action?"
Kan Ze nodded and said, "It's probably the case."
『So what do we do?』 Ma Junhou said, 『Send someone to...take the robbery?"
Zhang Congcao glared at Ma Junhou.
Ma Junhou grunted, "No, I mean, this, that..."
Kan Ze smiled, "It's okay... Actually, the meaning is almost the same... My idea is to try "the battle between the two"..."
Zhang Congcao's eyes moved, "Is it the way that Pang Lingjun said last time he came to instruct him?"
Kan Ze nodded.
At this moment, Ma Junhou couldn't understand it, "What, what is "the battle of seeing"? Is it the seeing? Or the sword of a sword?"
Kan Ze said slowly: "It is to use the "intersection". I think Prime Minister Cao must have some defense. The surveillance near Yingchuan must be quite strict around Xu County. If our people want to do something around, there may be great risks. Moreover, Yingchuan has Xiahou commanded the troops, whether it is the granary or the public treasury, they are under the strict control of the military. Even if we want to destroy it, we may not be able to achieve any good results..."
『So we should try what Pang Lingjun said before... "The battle between the two"...』
"Please give me the commander!" Ma Junhou bowed and said.
Kan Ze waved his hand and said, "It's not an order, but a discussion. This idea is mine, but it's an execution. You need to supplement your subordinates. Ma Junhou, you have to supplement according to the actual situation. Zhang Congcao... You are mainly responsible for collecting specific information. You need to look at this "battle between the two" from the perspective of the gentry..."
"Aristocrats?" Zhang Congcao was stunned for a moment, "Didn't it disturb the army?"
Ma Junhou smiled and said, "Didn't the director just now say it? The Cao army must be very prepared now. Now it's a risk! Is it a roundabout attack? Of course, it's a roundabout attack! Who uses the military as a soldier when he goes to battle against each other?"
Zhang Congcao suddenly said: "I am stupid...
Kan Ze looked at Zhang Congcao and Ma Junhou, "That's it, you all think it's feasible? Very good, Wang Zhiyin, please record the minutes of this meeting, and then we will sign and write... The next one is the secret, and it must not be written..."
"I understand." Wang Zhiyin nodded slightly. In fact, at the beginning, Wang Zhiyin kept recording the words of several people. Not long after Kan Ze finished giving instructions, Wang Zhiyin put the previous topic of discussions in the text file, then blew the ink traces and presented it to Kan Ze.
Kan Ze looked up and down, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded, took a pen and drew a sticker at the end. Then Ma Junhou and Zhang Congcao also followed him to draw a sticker below.
Wang Zhiyin took it away, then bowed to Kan Ze and others, then packed up his pen and ink, and walked out.
Since it is a "secret", it must not be written, so Wang Zhiyin does not need to continue recording on the side.
After Wang Zhiyin left, Kan Ze ordered the guards to guard the surrounding area, then sat down again, reiterated the confidentiality regulations, and said: "According to Pang Lingjun's words, those who use the military will be like using troops. Before winning, you must first consider defeat. You must first seek victory. You must not show off this time, and you must not be eager to achieve success. If you succeed, you will be great good, and you can not achieve success."
"Don't be greedy for merit or advance aggressively, it is like marching and fighting, and you must be very cautious."
Kan Ze concluded that Ma Junhou and Zhang Congcao also called it together.
Kan Ze nodded and said slowly, "The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are nothing more than just one that separates the monarch and ministers, two that destroys the granaries, and three that disrupts the army. However, these strategies are now outdated... They are not impossible to use, but they are less effective. Now, they need to adapt to local conditions and change according to the times."
"Now, if you leave the king and the ministers, you should know the meaning of the king and the ministers. It is not only the king, prince, general and minister, but the subordinates who are separated can be called "left the king and the ministers"..."
"If we regard the gentry and the people as ordinary people... so..."
…(`Д*)9…
A few days later.
Cai Yu, who was in Anyang County, south of Yecheng, encountered a small traffic accident.
Cai Yu, after Cao Cao took over Jizhou, basically restrained himself. On the one hand, he was considered a "successful minister" left by Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, Wang Ming was transferred to Yuzhou, which made him feel as if he had lost a support and felt a little disappointed.
Well, Cai Yu will never admit that he is so disappointed because Wang Ming can subsidize him some money from time to time...
You should know that it is very expensive to please a woman, let alone deal with and please several women at the same time?
What's more, women who are willing to be concubines are generally quite good at spending money.
Cai Yu is so beautiful that he often has a clean and honest style.
Yuan Shao was dead, and Wang Ming was gone.
Whether it was the original way to make money or the extra income, Cai Yu had dropped significantly.
When he was rich, Cai Yu was a handsome and handsome guy.
When he had no money, Cai Yu was a useless scumbag, a scumbag.
Of course, if you have money, you will have feelings. Cai Lang, Langjun, Xiao Tiantian, you will be very careful and call me casually. You will be fine in any way or posture. No matter how deep you poke the throat, you won’t feel nauseous. But once you have no money, you will touch it slightly and you will feel so disgusting...
Although Cai Yu had already been calculating in his heart, he would inevitably feel a little sad if he encountered it.
So Cai Yu left Yecheng and invited him to the more remote Anyang County, which was a little more purified.
A small county has the benefits of a small county town. Life is simple, and it is three points and one line.
Work, cafeteria, residence.
All the changes seem to have gone far away.
However, on such a day, Cai Yu's purity was broken.
On the way home, a ox cart pulling hay collided with Cai Yu's car that happened to pass by.
Of course the small car Cai Yu was riding in was made of wooden, and the two cars were not fast either. It was just that when they passed each other, they met for some reason.
The driver who drove the car probably hadn't figured out Cai Yu's identity yet, he immediately started to curse in a strong Jizhou accent without hesitation, and blamed Cai Yu's entourage for all the blame.
Cai Yu was just a minor official, and of course there was no special sign on the vehicle he was riding on, but it was not something that ordinary people could bump into. The angered Cai Yu's follower rushed up without hesitation and pulled the reckless driver off the ox cart.
Cai Yu was watching the damaged part of his car, and he was thinking about the price of repair with some distress, but he didn't expect that the coachman suddenly got rid of his followers' pull, rushed to him, grabbed Cai Yu's arm, and begged for mercy...
"What are you doing?! I'm just thinking about begging for mercy now, it's too late!" Cai Yu's entourage rushed over, pulled the coachman away, and kicked him heavily on the coachman, knocking him to the ground.
『…』 Cai Yu was silent for a while, his face seemed to change a little. Seeing that the entourage was about to rush up to beat the driver, he said, "Forget it, forget it... He was also unintentional...
Seeing Cai Yu speak, the follower gave up and pushed the driver's vehicle aside before moving forward again.
The driver who was knocked to the ground got up from the ground, rubbed his hurt arms and back, put the ox cart back, cursed quietly, and left while watching the curious passers-by.
Passers-by watching the fun on the street saw that the situation had subsided, and at most they laughed a few times before spreading. After all, the streets of Anyang County are small and not as wide as those of Yecheng. It is inevitable to rub things together. This kind of thing is common and even the topic of conversation after dinner is of little value.
However, in Cai Yu's heart, he was a little excited. His hands that were trembling in his sleeves, and in the middle of his palm was a wax ball...
After so long, has the General of the Cavalry remembered me again?
The next day, Cai Yu took advantage of his name of going out for a relaxing time and left Anyang County and arrived at a ravine ten miles west of the city.
Because this ravine has more stones than soil and is a distance from the water source, there is no farmland or industry at all, and there are only some rocks, trees, and weeds and shrubs.
Cai Yu stood on a rock in the ravine with his hands behind his back.
"You go there and look at the wind, and then you go to the other side and immediately notify me if you encounter any suspicious movements." Cai Yu ordered to the two confidant followers.
The confidant entourage looked around and felt a little worried, "Mr., is it really here? It's so desolate..."
"It's desolate that you won't be discovered by idle people..." Cai Yu said, "Go, I guess it's almost time to come..."
Cai Yu said calmly, but he was still a little nervous. This was the first time since Yuan Shao's death and he entered Cao Cao's command, the General of the Cavalry sent someone to contact him.
Cai Yu looked up at the sky.
The sky is bright.
He was a member of Huang Tian before, then entered Heishan, and later joined Yuan Shao. Haha, he said that, he can be considered three colors...
So is it born to be in line with the flag of General Husband?
Zhang Jiao’s dream is to build a pure, equal, without illness or heavy taxes, but Zhang Jiao failed in the end. Cai Yu, who was influenced by Zhang Jiao’s beliefs, felt that his world was also destroyed with Zhang Jiao’s decline, until he met Fei Qian.
Fei Qian once persuaded Cai Yu to stay in the north, forget the things that were in the past, and start his life again like other Black Mountain people, but Cai Yu couldn't do it, and he felt that he wanted to avenge Zhang Jiao.
In other words, he wanted to fulfill Zhang Jiao's last wish and dye the sky of Yecheng again with the yellow sky.
At that time, Zhang Jiao sent people to connect and wrote the word "Jiazi" on the gates of various places as a record. On the other hand, he sent Ma Yuanyi to Jingzhou, Yangzhou summoned tens of thousands of people to Ye to prepare for the uprising, and sent people to Luoyang to collude with eunuchs Feng Xu and Xu Feng, who wanted to cooperate inside and outside.
Unfortunately, it was finally reported by Tang Zhou.
A Tang Zhou who held an official position in Jizhou, was born in Qingzhou, and then went to Heluo to report it.
Haha, what a coincidence.
When the sun was slightly west, the person Cai Yu was waiting for finally appeared.
Seeing the visitor step by step, Cai Yu couldn't help but lick his lips nervously, feeling that he seemed to be back at the moment when he climbed over the wall to steal fragrance, his heartbeat accelerated...
The visitor walked to Cai Yu and took off the hat he wore on his head.
Cai Yu's eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out: "Why are you?!"
